Sleep Apnea

I did a search to see if there was any posts regarding this, however I admit I might have not did the search right.

I have sleep apnea and wear the stupid (yes I hate the thing) cpap at level 5. And I have questions before I head off to the doctor on the matter.

Who else has sleep apnea?

Do you have more intense dreams that are strange?

Do you have times where you only sleep 1 or 2 hours at a time?

Sometimes, do you have trouble with the mask causing you to feel stuffed up with a cold and can't wear it that night?

Have you found yourself taking the mask off in your sleep and not knowing til you woke the next morning?

I apparently have it. Can't wear the nose mask, but have successfully used the nasal pillows...

Sometimes the dreams are more intense, not always.

Yes, wake up off and on, but less so than without ( i think )

Stuffed up, and the congestion just rolls around with nowhere to go... I didn't wear it last night because of congestion.

I fling it off at least once a week in the middle of the night, and I don't always realize I've done it till much later.

I have no idea on the mask if it's the same as mine.... it's kinda like what they would use as they put you under for surgery as best as i can describe it. curious on what nasal pillows are tho

after asking the doctor today i have to go to the place i got my machine to let them refit me for a mask... she's trying to find a way for it to be helping more instead of less

I wear the CPAP nose pillows. I was diagnosed in feb, and had a hard time at first. Now, can't sleep without it!

As for dreams, I can't remember them usually.
My normal sleep pattern now is min. 8 hours.
I wake up every morning, and the first thing I have to do is blow the nose, several times.
At times, I have removed the pillows, but my wife wakes me up to put it back on. Hasn't happened in a while though.

Also, She said that I seem to adjust it in my sleep too!
